Summary

I simultaneously completed my academic studies and worked full-time on projects and products for clients from the Pharma and FMCG industry. I also hold a PMP certificate with 7+ years of experience in project management.

My focus in my spare time is to advance my programming skills. The reason behind that is that I would like to improve my technical understanding of projects and be a better manager between the SMEs and non-tech stakeholders. I also regularly attend PMP webinars and courses to learn about the latest PM practices continuously.
